架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目酝酿已久。该项目是经过长时间的设计、讨论和辩论，以及涉及许多参与者和公众的协商的结果。2000年第一次提出了邻近泻湖的Wharewaka概念，当时提议将弗兰克·基兹停车场的南端改为一个设施，以容纳瓦卡及其辅助功能。

Text description provided by the architects. This project has had a long gestation. The project is the culmination of a lengthy period of design, discussion and debate, and consultation involving many participants and the public. The concept of a Wharewaka adjacent to the lagoon was first suggested in 2000 when it was proposed that the south end of the Frank Kitts carpark be converted into a facility to accommodate the waka and its supporting functions.

在此之后不久，在泻湖南端提出了一个替代地点。在2003年，架构被要求考虑为这个站点开发一个概念设计。海洋建筑在这一阶段开始参与，在考虑了许多想法之后，就一项方案达成了一致意见，该方案提出了两座建筑的概念，作为克服与早期提案相关的许多难题的一种方法。

Soon after this an alternative site was proposed at the south end of the lagoon. In 2003 architecture+ were asked to look at developing a conceptual design for this site. Oceanic Architecture became involved at this stage and after considering many ideas, agreement was reached on a scheme which proposed a two-building concept as a way of overcoming many dilemmas associated with earlier proposals.

该计划是在2005年获得资源同意之前制定并提交给公众征求意见的。最近，由于财政方面的考虑，对该计划进行了修改，并对杰沃瓦码头对面的海滨城市进行了修改，因此提出了一项新的建议，将瓦卡和所有其他功能纳入一栋大楼。

This scheme was developed and presented to the public for consultation prior to obtaining Resource Consent in 2005. Most recently modifications to the scheme necessitated by financial considerations and modifications to the City to Seabridge across Jervois Quay have resulted in a new proposal which incorporates the waka and all other functions in a single building.

这一地点意义重大，因为Wharewaka的所在地以前是Te Aro Pa的港口，这是惠灵顿直到1880年前最大的毛利人社区之一。Wharewaka将扮演一个重要的角色，讲述一些位于海港周围的帕斯卡的故事。这对于实现在城市和滨水重新建立毛利人存在的目标也具有重要意义，特别是自19世纪80年代以来就没有出现。

The location is significant, as the location of the Wharewaka was previously harbour frontage to Te Aro Pa, one of the largest Maori communities in Wellington up until the 1880’s. The Wharewaka will play a significant role in the telling some of the stories of the pa located around the Harbour. It will also be significant in achieving the goal of re-establishing a Maori presence in the city and on the waterfront, notably absent since the 1880s.

建筑与四面八方的开放空间有着很强的空间关系。前面和马来面朝东北，这是惯例。它位于建筑物的Pae-Pae和Kupe的雕塑之间.这座建筑的轴线，以及太湖的直线，都在库佩雕塑上，而在南则是自由救护车大楼。虽然Wharewaka存在的理由是为了展示和庇护Waka，但从文化、公民和建筑的角度来看，这座建筑本身就是一座重要的建筑。因此，它的存在许多方面被视为有益于城市的文化发展。

The building has strong spatial relationships to the open space on all sides. The front and the marae atea face northeast, as is the convention. The atea sits between the pae-pae of the building and the sculpture of Kupe. The axis of the building, and the alignmentof the tahuhu, is on the Kupe sculpture, and to the south the Free Ambulance building. Whilst the raison d’être of the Wharewaka is to showcase and shelter waka, the building is in its own right animportant building from a cultural, civic and architectural perspective. Its presence therefore is seen as being beneficial in many ways to the cultural development of the city.

建筑物的一个独特的方面是外观‘斗篷’的概念。Korowai(斗篷)是在建筑的外层设计中发展起来的，它以类似于korowai对人体的保护方式对建筑物进行保护。斗篷遮住了建筑物的身体，垂下了它的两侧。它的设计是为了提高透明度，在必要时方便进出大楼，并在其他地方提供围护。它通过提供遮阳来减少太阳能的增加，从而为建筑物提供环境控制。斗篷的雕塑形式为建筑创造了一种不断变化的视觉表现形式。

A distinctive aspect of the building is the concept of the exterior ‘cloak’. The korowai (cloak) is developed in the design of the buildings as an outer layer giving protection to the building in a manner similar to that which the korowai gives to the human body. The cloak covers the body of the building, draping down its sides. It has been designed to allow transparency and facilitate access into and out of the building where desired and to provide enclosure elsewhere. It provides environmental control to the building by providing shading to reduce solar gains. The sculptural form of the cloak creates a constantly changing visual expression to the building.
